    I am pretty sure that was on SKY ([EDIT] ITV did show the fight), I remember having sit through that dreadful Gonzales fight with the ancient Renaldo Snipes, after sitting though Hide/Dixon... It was also the night of The Hitmans last hurrah, blowing out Maynard.

    I was just trying to do that, how do you do it?

    She used to be on in the daytime as well when there was no program to air.

    I can remember seeing this bird on during the day time. I must of only been a baby sometimes, because I can remember just randomly lying on the carpet, staring at the tv.

    I loved Fight Night.

    One stand-out memory for me from the time is Najib Daho fighting for the IBF title, at lunch time! As far as I remember anyway... What was that shown in the middle of, World of Sport maybe?

    The fight was actually staged in the TV Studio, as a special. It is was a fiddle of some kind, to get around the BBB of C not recognizing the IBF at the time.

    Might have been on sky aswell. I wouldn't know - we didn't have it.

    :huh

    Number of title fights that ITV have shown since that fight where neither fighter has been british? I'm guessing zero. It's possible they will again, but highly, highly unlikely.

    I don't remember this tv era being quite so good as a lot of the ITV programmes were regional and there seemed to be nowhere near as much in the then TVS region where I was/am...that is unless I've really, really messed up.

    Anyone remember Harry Carpenter's "A Fight To Remember"?

    I can remember watching that fight with my older brother. He had came in absolutely hammered from a Saturdays nights drinking, sat down and said "see if you don't wake me up when the fight starts, I'm kicking your head in" Two seconds later he's zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, out like a light. So with Holyfield and Bowe now in the ring I start to slap and try to awake the drunken beast, hit him with everything but the ****er was out of it. Turned out he missed an eventful fight and he's never forgiven me since. Hahah!!

    Moral of the story there, don't drink too much before the BIG FIGHT!!

    By the way I was about 13 and my bro about 20, I'd kick his ass now and he knows it!! :hi:

    I couldn't view the clip earlier but yes it looks like it is :thumbsup
    From what I remember it also featured highlights of fights like the Minter-Finnegan series, the Jones-Laing fights and Watt-Nash.
